JULIANNE Moore didn’t get married for love.
The 50-year-old actress says she wed director Bart Freundlich on the advice of her therapist.
“The only reason I got married in 2003 was for my children,” Julianne told Britain’s Guardian newspaper.
“I had a therapist who said marriage is really a container for a family and that made sense to me. Bart and I have been together for years. We have Caleb, 13, and our daughter Liv, who is eight.
“Some celebrities take their children everywhere with them, despite having to pull them away from school and friends.
“Because of my own childhood experiences, I try to work in New York or during the summer when my family can come with me. The days of doing a film where I need to be away for months during the school year are over.
“Bart and I try to spend time alone, but it is hard because the kids go, ‘Why are you going out? You went out last night.
“But we endeavor to make time for each other, take trips together. I wouldn’t call it a struggle. I wouldn’t say that it was easy. I think it’s what anybody I know who has a family and a career deals with. It’s a challenging balance. I feel fortunate that I’ve had both: and I work really hard to maintain both of them.”
